History / Future
From the official Baltimore Wharf development site:
“Baltimore Tower will be a truly unique and visual spectacle. From levels 2 to 42 the apartment arrangement will remain identical with the exception of an outer balcony ring that will shift and step to the right by nominal degrees. This outer ring will reach its furthest point to the right at level 13, and will gradually return to the centre line (at level 23) before continuing again to its furthermost point on the left at levels 44 and 45.
This innovative momentum will provide variable solar shading and cover for each floor level, in turn generating an enhanced environmental performance whilst creating the building’s distinctive visual twist. In addition to the movement of the balcony ring, the centre apartment core will also rotate at levels 8, 22 and 29 to correspond with the alignment of the balcony ring. There will be nine apartments on each floor from levels 2 to 42 (shown opposite) and 2 five bedroom triplex apartments located on floors 43 to 45”
The building itself actually seems quite interesting in its design but it’s essentially going to be another luxury London skyscraper for rich investors with property portfolios and not for the likes of your average working Joe who actually need affordable housing in the city.
The Explore
Climbed with Slayaaaa and a couple of non-members.
There was some kind of crazy lightshow going on over at the O2, never seen it lit up quite like this before
A very impromptu explore, It felt good to be back up here and finally manage to get something to show for it. We spent an enjoyable couple of hours up there before quietly heading out, dropping into the street in front of a very confused looking couple we hadn’t seen in the shadows before vanishing into the night. Fun times
